The local hosts of talk radio station KSFO-AM (560) will take phone calls and answer questions today from noon to 3 p.m. in an extraordinary response to a lone blogger who has been recording their at-times offensive and violent diatribes and sending them to advertisers. . . .The anonymous blogger, who goes by ``Spocko'' and hosts a site at www.spockosbrain.com, has been picked up by liberal political sites across the country and has had more of an effect on the station than years of protests. . . . The station has consistently been in the Bay Area's Top 10 since it started as the lone conservative radio voice in 1995 and has been under fire by gay and minority groups for statements they deemed hateful.
The Internet has apparently made the protests more effective.
Spocko, who claims to have only 19 regular readers on his blog, forwarded links to statements by the radio hosts to advertisers including Visa, Bank of America and the state of Michigan, which apparently dropped ads.
Heheh. Guess someone's smarting a bit. I'm sure that their "extraordinary response" will go a long way to quelling the controversey. Yeah, right.
